TEAM DISCOUNT
If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group. Campers may then register individually through the website at their convenience and apply the offer code during check out. *Discount amount varies by program. Please call for details.
SCHOLARSHIPS
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.
Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.

We will be back!
July 5, 2018: She loved the experience. Staying overnight was a lot of fun. Sofia said the drills were different than a lot of drills she already knows, so it was fun learning new ones. She enjoyed the setting help too. I think her only complaint was how hot it was in her dorm. There’s not much you can do about that, it was just a very hot weekend. That’s the only negative thing she had to say was how hot it was. She really enjoyed her experience and wants to come again next year.
